BRUSSELS -- Closely-held Interbrew , the world's second-biggest brewing group, said Friday that it intends to list at least 25% of its shares on the Brussels stock exchange in December, if market conditions allow. The company said it also expects to join the Brussels exchange's Bel-20 Index, the benchmark for the Belgian bourse.

The Leuven-based group had said previously it would list in the last two months of this year, but it hadn't specified how much of the company would be sold to the public.
